This is a scanner, no driver specifically for this model in SANE,
unsupported, backends included in development repo.

Maybe a matter of time.

Thanks.

If you want a supported scanner, you can't go wrong with an Epson one

@dpt

Not a Lide100 but I've got an USB supported CanoScan Lide25 working fine here. I don't know if this is the general way for Canon ones but I can tell you what I've done in my case:

firstly
connect the scanner to an usb port,
in a terminal
root@MBox:/home/idefix# sane-find-scanner

Code:

# sane-find-scanner will now attempt to detect your scanner. If the
# result is different from what you expected, first make sure your
# scanner is powered up and properly connected to your computer.

# No SCSI scanners found. If you expected something different, make sure that
# you have loaded a kernel SCSI driver for your SCSI adapter.

found USB scanner (vendor=0x04a9 [Canon], product=0x2220 [CanoScan], chip=LM9832/3) at libusb:002:004
# Your USB scanner was (probably) detected. It may or may not be supported by
# SANE. Try scanimage -L and read the backend's manpage.

# Not checking for parallel port scanners.

# Most Scanners connected to the parallel port or other proprietary ports
# can't be detected by this program.

root@siduxbox:/home/anja# scanimage -L

No scanners were identified. If you were expecting something different,
check that the scanner is plugged in, turned on and detected by the
sane-find-scanner tool (if appropriate). Please read the documentation
which came with this software (README, FAQ, manpages).

Could somebody give me a hint what's wrong?

@wintux:

under KDE you can use kwrite ([ALT+F2] -> kdesu kwrite)

It might be you don't have "gedit" installed (it's a gnome-programm).
It also might be your file is named "/lib/udev/rules.d/60-libsane.rules" - just look for [XX]-libsane.rules in the directory /lib/udev/rules.
After the whole procedure, maybe you will have to unplug and replug your scanner or even do a reboot.
In one case I first had to uninstall my existing sane installation (as root: apt-get purge sane).

But remember: after an upgarde of sane or udev you probably will have to re-edit the files or even reinstall sane-backends. For doing the installation of sane-backends from git-repository I first had to install several parts of tex - if you get several failure-notices concerning tex-???? while doing "make" you will also have to do so.
